She’s been too busy tending bar in her dad’s neighborhood pub since her mom died a few years ago. Though she has a degree in hotel management, she enjoys helping her father out with his business. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and lively showmanship pack the bar every weekend.
Enter Alexios Verga, co-CEO of The Midas Touch, the latest hotel and casino to crowd onto the Las Vegas Strip. While his brother runs the hotel, Alexios is responsible for the casino and entertainment. Which are not doing particularly well, since he prefers to frequent the Strip’s lounges with his latest hottie instead of manage the business. Until Daddy lowers the boom: raise the hotel’s bar revenues or start taking orders from his younger brother.
The first time Alexios enters Jimmy’s Bar it is so crowded he can barely enter. It obviously has something he hasn’t thought of. And that something turns out to be Sydney Hughes. Alexios is fascinated with Sydney’s ability to take drink orders, schmooze with the patrons, and entertain using flamboyant moves more in keeping with a magician than a bartender. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s drawn to her fresh, girl-next-door looks and personality, so unlike with whom he normally surrounds himself. But when he makes her a lucrative job offer, she flatly turns him down, unimpressed by his good looks or his credentials. Unused to rejection, he goes around her back.
Now that Sydney reluctantly works for Alexios, she’s even more the ice queen where he’s concerned. And he finds himself obsessed with the sexy bartender, thinking of her morning, noon, and night. Is Alexios capable of changing his playboy ways, and winning Sydney’s trust? Or will this be his last call?Start ReadingTempting the Tycoon]]>Heaven Senthttps://www.wattpad.com/85211466-heaven-sent-synopsis?utm_source=rss<b>cerebral_1 / 32 pages</b><br/>Ana Redwing is a half breed, spurned by her father’s people, held in contempt by her mother’s.

An accident when she was younger has rendered her unsightly to look upon, so she ekes out a lonely existence in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is known as a healer, practicing the medicine of her mother’s tribe. But the town folk of the nearby outpost only use her knowledge when they have nothing left to lose. Consequently, she is happier with animals than people, surrounding herself with her livestock.
Once a thief, always a thief. Colton Lassiter has been on the wrong side of the law too many times to count. After he double crosses the bank robbers he once rode with, he has to find a place to lay low for the winter. The Sandia Mountains outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, seem just perfect. But he’s never been very good at laying low. When he accidentally shoots his own dog, he seeks out the help of the reclusive healer Albuquerque shuns. And finds out exactly why she’s ostracized.
It’s not until his past catches up to him on Christmas Eve that he has a chance to redeem himself, as well as prove to a damaged woman that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.Start ReadingHeaven Sent]]>Once Upon a Time: Story Possibilitieshttps://www.wattpad.com/76031032-once-upon-a-time-story-possibilities-a-pirate%27s?utm_source=rss<b>cerebral_1 / 23 pages</b><br/>This is a compilation of all the ideas currently spinning around in my head.

Easier said than done, if you’re a woman, and Irish! Sick of being turned down in business just because she happens to be both those things, with nowhere else to turn except to perhaps a brothel, Fiona O’Toole does the unthinkable: she agrees to be a mail order bride, and travels out west to meet her intended, with the hope she’ll be able to open that shop as well.
Unlucky at love and tired of being alone, Edward Townsend sends away for a mail order bride in search of a perfect match without all the fuss and work of courting. But Edward isn’t prepared for the woman who answers his ad, or her lofty ambitions, and what happens next is anyone’s guess!
Will Fiona be too much woman for the narrow-minded, small town banker, or will Edward be able to tame this “Wild Irish Rose,” and in the process perhaps learn something about himself before someone else captures her heart?Start ReadingMail Order Bride Mishap (Into the West #3)]]>The Christmas Gifthttps://www.wattpad.com/33744913-the-christmas-gift?utm_source=rss<b>cerebral_1 / 20 pages</b><br/>Jake Dalton and Lucy Parker have never been happier.
